The Written Word
Core behaviors vs. Core values come from the one and only Michael Girdley this week. It’s a masterclass on what your company really stands for.
Book / Audible
Basementality reveals how beverage innovator Ben Weiss fought Big Sugar and elevated Bai from his basement to unprecedented success.
Great read/listen to see what being relentless really looks like.
Podcast
Hear from genius marketer - Craig Clemens from Golden Hippo. He dropped some heat from his 15 years in marketing and has been a part of over a billion dollars worth of products sold. His insights are pretty awesome. Check out the episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts below:
Also, I was recently on the Acquiring Minds podcast if you’d like to hear my acquisition story. I can’t get myself to listen back to it so not sure how it went. First time for everything right?
Video
You won’t, if ever hear me talking about a TV series but after hearing from too many sources that this was worthy of a watch, I gave it a chance and it did not disappoint. You’ll get inside the mind of the obsessed and see behind the scenes what running a small business actually looks like. Next time you have 30 minutes to yourself, give this quick 2 season show on Hulu a rip.
Health
You set revenue goals for your business and schedule vacations way in advance with your family but do you think ahead when it comes to your personal health and wellbeing? If not, it’s about time to get clear on how you’re going to either get in shape or take your routine to the next level this week. There’s nothing worse than feeling stuck in a routine you can’t seem to break.
You have less than 8 weeks to close out the year on a positive note and the “I don’t have time” thing isn’t going to work this time.
So get outside and move, lift some weights, and eat something that doesn’t come from the middle aisles of a grocery store for a while.
I’m doing a 10k next weekend without any prep and have another event scheduled out for June/July of 2024.
How about looking and scheduling a date you want something accomplished by early next year? For example - walking 10k steps a day for 90 days straight. That doesn’t sound too bad right?
Great. Start small and start today.
